we are all Earthman
Poets & Pornstars
Earthman
We got bombs and we got guns
We got everything you could want
Under a sun
We got pleasure
We got pain
We got people here who think
That they're the same
We're the fallen in the war
We're the bullets and the law
We're the kiss of love that heals it all
And it's so pretty down here
It might move you to tears...
I am an Earthman
I was born to the out of hand
The Poets and the Pornstars
The Lovers and the Die-Hards
And I never met a madman
Who didn't have a cause
And I never met a pervert
Who didn't have a broken heart
And I am...an Earthman.

Uber Superstar
Have you ever had those times, when you're in a conversation, then suddenly everything goes quiet. Well, back home they say it's cause 'malaikat lalu'. So should ever this happens to you, here's a good joke to share.
Q : How much does a polar bear weigh?
A : Enough to break the ice.
Get it, get it, get it? Well, it took a while for me to get it when I first heard it (hmm..I wonder why some people call me blondy).
So, I tried it out a couple of times here in college, and my American friends LOVED it. Now, they're going to spread it around, and I remind them to say that the joke comes straight from Malaysia.
So there, I have done my part in carrying the Malaysian name.
Oh, but I should not be taking all the credit for this. It came from our very own Tan Sri Arizz, who coincidentally, wears the crown for today. Well technically, he wears the crown everyday of his awesomely fabulous life, but more so today.
So, everybody....

Road to Doomness
To those of you who have gone or will be going through the same road as me,
Observe.
You might just be heading towards your head on collision wall.
So, there were 5 years in high school were the average class size was 20, and another year and a half where it was smaller.
And then you come to Uni where the lecture hall sits more than 200 students. On top of that, you need to come early as to reserve the best seat in the house.
AAAnnd, the professor just might be talking Urdu up front, when the last time you checked, you signed up for the calculus class.
Thank God for recitation class. It is my salvation back to familiarity. Don't know what it is? Yeah, I only learned the word here. Americans like to make stuff up and call it their own.
I want Cikgu Abu back. Limits of functions just ain't the same no more.
KYS ----> KYUEM --->Uni

la la la lie

Here, people talk a lot about being racist. And if you talk a lot about it, it most probably means you'r facing it in your community.
Personally, I grew up having friends who are Malay, Chinese and Indian alike. I never actually knew that there was a barrier. But what do kids with boogey running down your nose at that age knows right?
In KYS, 90 % were Malays and it was then, when I meet people from outside the school, I felt like.
'Oh, he's Chinese and she's Indian. We have different culture, so we couldn't survive living with each other'
Well, let's ignore the fact my best friend is a Chinese (shout out to WJ!). She's half Malay anyway, cause the part Malay she have inside of her is Amira Najua. >.<
And then...I got into KYUEM where although again the majority is Malay, but because I mixed with the non-malay community more, I didn't feel that way. So, I realize that there wasn't any line between the different races.
Do you see the pattern here? Where you are determines the kind of thinking you have.
And now that I am here in the US, for the first time, I am a minority. And it stinks! Not just that, people here have their own issues with the different coloured people already in the country and in comes this brown girl from Malaysia (is that the country next to Russia? <----true story here).
Diversity Schmurversity.
It takes way more than saying you are a diverse community to actually BE a diverse community.
I'm crapping and not making sense. My legs are sore from climbing the hills and trying not be the brown girl who's attempting hiphop at dance practice.
ooze out peeps.
I hope Malaysia is treating you well as she always had to me.
oooOOoo..highly unlikely you'll be reading this. Uncle Sathia, you are my guardian angel. You won't find a man with a bigger heart.

this thing i do
Since I'm such a social noob here, I find that I have too much free time to do nothing-ness. I go on facebook, click on [insert name of people I'm missing here] and practically CSI-ed it all over.
Am a stalker that way.
So if you think you're on my People I Miss list, you might wanna do any necessary changes that you might not want me to see.
